Abstract

Ultrabroadband (half-width of 88 nm) nanosecond
Cr4+:forsterite oscillation was achieved simultaneously in
the 1170–1340-nm range (1085 cm-1) by use of a
spatially dispersed resonator with an intracavity prism pair. The
laser demonstrates 4.8% real pump-to-laser efficiency. The
oscillation build-up time for different spectral components is around
20 ns and varies by only 2.5 ns in the 1190–1260-nm region, which
indicates that the ultrabroadband laser represents a complex
multifrequency laser system with nonlinear spectral mode
interaction.
